artezën features beautiful handbags and accessories made of cork.  The cork is harvested from  trees in Portugal.  The process is 100% sustainable to the tree.  The products are then handcrafted in a small town in the south of Portugal.  The products are lightweight yet durable.  The unique designs and patterns of the cork are one of a kind.

Kristi managed an artisan store in Southern California which featured cork products.  Upon returning to Colorado, she made the decision to focus on cork imports from Portugal, believing that Coloradoans would appreciate the 100% vegan and sustainable attributes of cork.

Her product line is continually expanding as new products are offered. Her goal is to educate customers about the product, and the vast variety it offers.  Cork is a great alternative for handbags, wallets, jewelry and other products as she is continually discovering.

After launching the business in August 2020, artezën is now in three Colorado stores, in addition to various markets.  The next step in addition to expanding our retail presence, is to launch online sales of some of the products.
